For specialty trades
Specialty trades on a community’s list.
RFPs from communities near your yard land on your dashboard, at your own price, under your own name.

What it looks like from your side
What you read, and what you send back.
The RFP
A community writes what it wants done and how often, and every company on the list for that trade sees the same document. Nothing is routed to you and nothing is withheld from anyone else.
The ground it covers
The ground or the structures the board named in the request. It is drawn from parcel data rather than measured on site, so you can see the extent of the job before you price the spec sheet against it.
Your proposal
Your own proposal, priced in whatever unit your own trade bids in. You set the number, you keep your brand, and you invoice the community yourself when the work is done.
The people on the job keep their own names here too: your crew, under the name your license is issued in.
Before your first proposal
What we ask a specialty trade for.
- General liability
- Workers’ compensation
- Your trade’s own license or certification
We read each certificate ourselves and record the date it expires.
The credential your trade issues
The license or certification your own trade issues. We record it with its expiration date.
What the community sees you produce
The line-item proposal against the board’s spec sheet, and the completion record for the work.
Your dashboard
The account is free, and this is what comes with it.
The dashboard is the same one every company on VendoRFP gets: the open requests that fit what you do, the proposals you have out, the documents we hold for you, and what you are owed. You invoice under your own name from inside it.
Pick a trade — each one is a different dashboard
Frequent visits, each one a chemistry log. Free chlorine and pH are required every visit, because your health department is what sets the interval a public pool records at, and the dashboard asks for both before it lets you close the visit.
